Blackguards 2 – Official Teaser

Our Blackguards are back!

Blackguards 2 announced

We are so happy to finally reveal that we are working on a sequel for our strategy RPG – Blackguards 2!

Blackguards 2 will stay an SRPG focussing on turn-based, strategic battles with a group of scoundrels as anti-heroes. Some of the best-known Blackguards from the first game will be part of the team again – unfortunately, their lives didn’t go very well since then. Dwarf Naurim, for example, has rest on his fame as a successful gladiator and defeater of the Nine Hordes. He used his popularity for shady businesses and excessive parties and got quite potbellied – not a very good condition for battles, and so he hung up his axe and ditched his old gang, as long as they wouldn’t yield any profit.

Video Guide Part 4 – Of choice and consequence

The final part of our video guide series on Blackguards has arrived! In our fourth installment we explain the various types of decisions as they appear in the game’s quests, dialogues and combats and their possible consequences.

Video Guide Part 3 – Combat System
